Everything's just ducky now that a 3-cd re-release of the excellent score and songs from Howard the Duck is on the way.
We all have grudges that we hold onto throughout our lives. Some are valid, like family disputes or relationship betrayals, while others are about trivial things that have taken on a conflated importance in our minds as time passes. I'm not sure which category this falls into, but I'm still pissed at my brother for taping over my Howard the Duck soundtrack in the early '90s. You see, I was on board with the film version of Marvel Comics' maladjusted mallard from the start. Seeing the movie with my father is one of my prized childhood memories. I loved the weird tonal shifts and how bizarre the events unfolding on screen were. But more than anything, I was obsessed with the film's music.

Shekhar Kapur, best known outside India for “Elizabeth,” his 1998 biopic about the 16th Century British queen, is readying a new “Elisabeth” film. Based on a musical about one of the most famous members of the Austrian royal family, the film is to be shot in German.
Together with Michael Kunze and Sylvester Levay, Kapur is developing “Elisabeth.” This one is based on the life and death of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, the wife of Emperor Franz Joseph I, and better known as Sissi. Kunze and Levay’s “Elisabeth” is a stage musical based on the Empress’ life that has been watched by more than 10 million people and which rates as the most successful German musical of all time. There have been 12 language adaptations of the stage show, with the most popular Asian adaptations being in Korean and Japanese. Kapur will direct the film adaptation of the musical in German.

Out goes Stella and in goes Rebecca, the new musical based on the Daphne du Maurier novel and Oscar-winning Alfred Hitchcock film. The production, which tells the story of an English country estate haunted by an aristocrat’s dead wife, has set its opening night on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre–the current home of the limited run of A Streetcar Named Desire–on November 18, 2012.
Another version of the show had its world premiere in 2006 in Vienna (and played for more than three years), but the revised musical has finally slated a Broadway debut, after postponing its opening earlier this season.
